Minimum course of treatment 2 months. The majority of pets will respond by the second week. For chronic conditions, progressive improvement in behavior is expected over three to six weeks.
For episodic stressful situations such as car rides, fireworks or visitors, doses should be administered 12 hours and again 2 hours before the event. For a prolonged situation, the administration can be repeated every six hours.
While thunderstorms may be considered episodic events, they are often difficult to predict, so regular administration during thunderstorm season with supplementation during the storm could be the best regimen for the pet, paired with behavior modification.
There are no know interactions with other therapeutics. No known side
effects. Has excellent palatability.
